Additional Questions and Answers

15. Section 01 35 30 of the RFP outlines that both a Contractors Onsite Safety Representative and a Part Time Safety and Health Professional is required. Can the Contractors Onsite Safety Representative perform both functions? We anticipate full time support in place with a senior level Safety/IH professional as the Contractors Onsite Safety Representative. We are not clear on what value an additional part time person would bring when we are staffing with a senior position already.

A: Refer to 01 35 30 B3c. No. Contractor Onsite Safety Representative and Part Time Safety and Health/CIH cannot be the same person. Only the Part Time Onsite Safety and Health Professional and/or Certified Industrial Hygienist will be approved as the same person.

16. Section 01 35 30 of the RFP outlines that the Certified Industrial Hygienist is required to make site visits during the start- up of asbestos removal activities and coating removal and application activities. Can you clarify if this is required one time per week or per month?

A: See Revised 01 35 30 Part time Safety and Health Professional and/or Certified Industrial Hygienist are required to be on-site once a week.

NO FURTHER QUESTIONS WILL BE ADDRESSED PRIOR TO PROPOSAL DUE
